yeah, so i guess i have a rabbit problem at my house. i live in a residential development and my backyard is fenced in with a 6' high wooden fence. near the back of the yard is a wooden shed to store things in, etc. it seems that a family of rabbits have decided to make their den under my shed and my backyard has become a rabbit sanctuary. there are always 2-3 rabbits in the backyard.

the problem comes when we let our two small dogs outside - its a madhouse chasing these rabbits all aroundthe yard. i personally don't care much but my wife is so worried about the dogs killing the rabits or the dogs chasing them getting through the fence, etc. i'd be fine with getting rid of them through force but that isn't going to fly.

does anyone have any idea how i can get rid of these bastards? my wife is ordering repellent to get rid of them, but i see little/no chance of that working.

You can buy the traps at stores like home depot. Can be a bit pricey, but a small one for rabbits should not be bad. Might be a good idea to get one if this may be a recurring problem...unless you fix the shed area to prevent them. The traps are called "haveahart."

Doesn't work, stinks to high heaven, and surely wouldn't do a thing for rabbits already established within fenced in yard... My wife tried it time and again to protect her flowers from rabbits, and it did not make a bit of difference. Did I mention it really stinks?

When the ingredients are eggs mixed with garlic, it will stink. The smell is supposed to drive them away. It worked for my cousin.

to the 22LR. If firearms can't be used, the minimum I think I'd use would be a break-barrel pellet rifle. I'm sure it can be done, but I think a BB would be a little under powered to cleanly drop a rabbit.

So it works on cousins? maybe we should scatter some around LGP to get rid of the trolls
